Journey to the Dumpling - Midtown

This place is absolutely amazing. The flavors and fast service my gosh. I definitely will continue to drive 3 hrs to come eat.

Clean, flavorful dim sum and dumplings reminiscent of Din Tai Fung.

I came here for lunch with a large group on Friday and they were able to seat us right away. Inside, it is very clean and modern, with a fun neon wall that grabs your attention from outside. The waiters were really nice given our big group and came to check on us multiple times. We got a bunch of items to share and they were all great. I definitely recommend the xao long bao, spicy shrimp and pork wontons, garlic noodles, and the green onion pancake. They have the classic items you want, but with a clean, slightly Americanized version of dim sum. I highly recommend this place if you're in need of some dim sums!

The pork soup dumplings were amazing, as was the chili sauce that the food came with. The rest of the food, however, wasn't very impressive to me, but my enjoyed it. In addition to pork dumplings we got scallion pancakes, garlic chicken noodles, spring rolls, and shrimp dumplings.
Service was interesting. First were seated (outside, which I prefer), but then abandoned without even water for good 15 minutes. Then, I think they realized their mistake and the rest of the night we were served properly.
Inside the place was a bit too loud for my taste, but the tables outside were perfect.
I might be back for the soup dumplings.

Really enjoyed the freshness and variety.
Server was very helpful in making recommendations.
Will definitely be back

We've been here several times now and each time the customer service and food have been amazing! There are certain dishes you just crave and this place definitely takes care of all those cravings. The atmosphere is fun and modern with plenty of tables to sit in and eat or you can order to go. I would say the toughest part about this is the parking is always terrible but it's well worth the food.I'll definitely be going back here many more times.

Came here for dinner. Line was out the door despite being a fairly decent size restaurant. It was definitely worth the wait, though. We tried multiple items, all had really good flavor. Dishes came out one by one despite multiple entrees being ordered, I would have preferred all the food brought over at once, however considering how long some items took to come out, some food probably would have come out warm or cold instead of hot. Still the flavor was there. Servers were pretty busy but as attentive as they could. The decor definitely gave it a true Chinese vibe which made it that much more appealing.
I would definitely recommend

Yelp waitlist was fantastic, the estimate was accurate, got there when I was 3rd in line and was seated within 10mins. The decor of the restaurant was unique and great vibe in the restaurant. Let's talk about the food, it was outstanding. Every dish was absolutely delicious. Garlic beef fried rice was so flavorful. The salt and pepper chicken wing stood out the most because the flavor was infused in the batter of the chicken and combined with wok fried onions and jalapeño made all the flavors come out.

This place is easily one of the best Shanghai/Taiwanese restaurant on my list. They also gave generous house spicy sauce and vinegar to the table.

I got a chance to finally try this new location with a group of friends and it did not disappoint. All of the food was just as delicious as the original Elk Grove location. The service was great, timely, and attentive. My group couldn't just choose just a couple of items so we just did some of everything. All of it was delicious and I tried the Fujian fried rice for the 1st time, it was good. It's almost like a soy or teriyaki sauce gravy on top of the rice. Don't be put off by the appearance, it's good.

The garlic noodles were good also. At the Elk Grove location I always get the Yang Chow fried rice, which is like a house friend rice with a mix of proteins. I'll need to try the Yang Chow fried rice at this location the next time I come. My favorites were the peking spare ribs, honey walnut shrimp, and of course the pork soup dumplings. They're very well known for their pork soup or Xiao Long Bao dumplings. I'll definitely be coming back to this location. The inside is very nice and modern as well, maybe technically bigger than the Elk Grove location?

First time trying this place and I loved it! We went at a good time where it's not dinner time yet but after lunch. The place has great ac and I enjoy the decor of the restaurant.

The server was great! She gave us recommendations, suggested specials that weren't in the menu, and she always made sure we got everything we needed. She checked on us often and made sure our drinks were refilled.

Everything we ordered was amazing! I like the Peking spare ribs and the soup dumplings! So delicious! The cucumber dish is super refreshing! Will come again!

I visited their restaurant in Elk Grove and thought it was ok. I havent had a reason to go back. We planned a family dinner and decided to try their new spot in mid-town. Boy am I glad we did. The food was mostly delicious, the service was great and the ambiance was fun. I love the neon artwork on the walls.
We ordered many dishes my favorite was the chili won tons. It was a perfect combo of spicy and chili. The Steak Fried Rice was very juicy and flavorful - I definitely recommend this dish. Singapore noodles, LOVE It was the perfect amount of heat. The only dish we ordered that I didn't love was the scallion pancakes. It lacked flavor and was a bit greasy.
